TEACHING EXPERIENCE AND APPROACH

With 13 years’ experience of teaching A Level and GCSE Geography for different exam boards, in two outstanding schools, Alice is exceptionally well equipped to support students in their Geography learning and exam preparation. She has tutored students 1:1 for over 5 years and is also particularly skilled at tutoring for Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) at A Level.

Alice’s approach to tutoring is calm, organised, fun and rigorous. Her students will work and think hard in a supportive and enjoyable environment.

WHY TUTORING

I love tutoring as it allows for a positive working partnership with a student to be created, outside of the usual classroom setting and its associated business. To see a tutee of mine achieve is very fulfilling, especially as they often start the process with me lacking confidence in their abilities. I love to help students unpick what is confusing and support them in moving forward in their learning.

My favourite book is The Overstory by Richard Powers
